One has a bracket in front of it, this one is top right if you're looking from the front of the engine. The other is bottom left that I cant fit a ratchet onto. Do I have to remove the Power steering/ oil pump assembly? Its in the fsm intake and exhaust 15-8 right behind part 17? TY!

[right][snapback]212466[/snapback][/right] I can't take a picture I'm at work, but it's on the same page I made a reference to in the manual its part #20. Also thnx for the help man. If I remember correctly you have to take these brackets off if you do the Diamante manifold swap, they're 2 black brackets that also hold the plenum in place. If you dont unbolt the top bolts on these brackets you can't take off plenum. Help me out man ITS ONLY 2 LEFT =)

I'm not going to go dig around to reference that in the manual because quite frankly, I don't feel like it and that takes time, and my time is worth more than digging around for evidence to help you for free. Odds are, you just need a stronger tool or use an air ratchet. If you can't access the bolts from the top, go from the bottom and use a lift. If you can't do it yourself, then pay a professional to do it for you.

And I cannot fit any ratchet tools on to the nut on the back of the header, only a 14 mm wrench but since its rusted it won't budge. I'll just pull off the belt and the pulley and use my breaker bar. The bracket has to be removed.

When me and my buddy checked it out we realized the easiest and safest way to take that nut off is just to loosen that pulley assembly and not remove any hoses from it. The bracket will come off as well.
